| dc.description.abstract | We conducted a serosurvey for West Nile virus (WNV) infection in equines in Costa Rica in 2004. Antibodies to WNV were detected in 28% of the horses using an epitope blocking ELISA that is specific for WNV. WNV infection was confirmed for a subset of these sera by plaque reduction neutralization tests and Western blot. This is the first evidence of WNV activity in Costa Rica. | |
| dc.description.abstract | En 2004 llevamos a cabo un estudio serológico sobre la infección por el virus del Nilo Occidental (VNO) en equinos en Costa Rica. Se detectaron anticuerpos contra el VNO en el 28 % de los caballos mediante un ELISA de bloqueo de epítopos específico para el VNO. La infección por el VNO se confirmó en un subconjunto de estos sueros mediante pruebas de neutralización por reducción de placas y Western blot. Esta es la primera evidencia de la presencia del VNO en Costa Rica. | |
